Whirlpool decelerator for flows with jet-type drying atomizer injection system.

Abstract

The present invention describes a vortex decelerator for flows formed by a jet-type atomizer injection system. This system comprises an atomization system made up of jet-type atomizers arranged in a secant direction around a cylindrical chamber. The jets impact each other sequentially, causing a considerable reduction in the velocity at which they are expelled from their respective nozzles. As a result of these collisions, a rotating, nebulized flow is produced circulating at low speeds in the center of the chamber. The working fluid can range from liquid water at low temperatures to cryogenic fluids such as nitrogen. The novel aspect of this invention is the rotational nebulization method, designed to preserve food products for longer periods.On the other hand, in case of malfunctions, this device will be easy to repair due to its removable parts, which can be repaired or replaced as needed. Furthermore, the "beta" angle can be widened, allowing for adjustments to the intensity of the mist inside the decelerator cylinder.
